Installing Gramps using MacPorts

Open Terminal.app from /Applications/Utilities and enter these commands:

sudo port selfupdate
sudo port install gramps

If you are running a recent version of OS X (Snow Leopard, Lion or Mountain Lion, at this point), much of the support software is pre-compiled and will install as quickly as it is downloaded.

Running Gramps

Use Terminal to start gramps:

gramps

GraphViz

You may wish to install GraphViz to handle some of the graphical reports that Gramps can produce. MacPorts can provide you with either graphical or command-line based versions of either a 'stable' or 'development' release of GraphViz. 'graphviz-gui' is recommended unless you know that you have a need for the development version. Install with:

sudo port install graphviz-gui
